MTI Videographer Tony Winthrop out at the Capital One arena in Washington DC. Tony providing  camera coverage for Madison Square Garden Network – https://www.msgnetworks.com/.  Tony was covering the New Jersey Devils at Washington Capitals for  MSG. For these types of jobs it’s a 1 person camera crew for ENG type news shooting.

 Tony’s primary responsibility is to shoot interviews during the pregame skate at the Capital One  arena.  The pregame skate occurs in the morning, Quick hand held interviews are shot either in the locker room  or just before the players go on the ice, or when they are coming off.  Tony used a Sony XD Cam F800 Disc Camera, with a battery light on the camera.  For the interviews an RE 50 stick microphone with a Sony wireless was provided.

The interviews are conducted either by the Associate Director Larry Gaines or the Producer Roland Dratch or the newest member of the Devils broadcast team Erika Wachter https://www.msgnetworks.com/2018/09/12/msg-networks-names-erika-wachter-as-new-host-for-new-jersey-devils-coverage/   MTI specializes in camera crew and video crew work of this nature, we are credentialed for the Senate Radio TV Gallery.

Depending on the game, normally soundbites from various players can be clipped together in a soundbite package that airs in the half hour pregame. For the postgame, Tony works closely with Erika concentrating on the Devils locker room starting with the Coach John Hynes . Discs are popped out and ran back to the truck. Normally the coach interview is played in its entirety.  During that time Tony and Erika are in the Devils locker room gathering short interviews from players. Those interviews are played back in the post game

 The New Jersey Devils https://www.nhl.com/devils are currently in a rebuilding mode, currently languishing at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division of the National Hockey League.   The Washington Capitals https://www.nhl.com/capitals are of course the defending Stanley Cup Champions and as of this current post are 1st in the Metropolitan Division of the National Hockey League.
